Things I want to be

• I want to be flexible and not stubborn, stiff-necked and stuck in my ways.
• I want to have the courage to say “I don’t know” and then earnestly seek understanding and knowledge.
• I want to be an encouragement, not someone who sucks the life and passion out of people.
• I want to be excited about the exercise of God-given passion and creativity.
• I want to listen, hear and understand what people are saying to me not just nod my head and then write it off.
• I want to be genuine and honest. I want people to know the real me not just my public face.
• I want to care about people with my actions not just my words.
• I want to view people not by outward appearances or by numbers and statistics but with the discernment of the Holy Spirit.
• I want to be approachable and friendly, taking time out for people even when it interrupts my schedule.
• I want to speak the truth in love, not just speak the truth.
• I want to people to have good, solid reasons to trust me.
• I want to let other people take the credit for something awesome.

So, how about you?
